A Lesson in Wood Carving

My sons had the opportunity to learn some basic wood carving skills today.  A gentleman by the name of John Sanders, a semi-retired Boy Scout leader and wood carver, among other things, taught a roomful of Homeschool students this fun skill.

The final product was to look like this:
